In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Swedish firm OX2 has inked a partnership with Norwegian consumer goods company Orkla to supply green hydrogen to the company’s Haraldsby factory in Åland. The aim of the cooperation is to assess and plan the supply of hydrogen from 2025. The hydrogen for Orkla’s factory in Saltvik, Åland would be supplied from OX2’s planned Energy Park at Möckelö, as well as from additional solar park projects and eventually from the Noatun North and South offshore wind projects via planned hydrogen production in Långnäs, according to the report. “We consider Orkla’s factory in Haraldsby to be a good first example of the possibilities offered by hydrogen, and after this pilot we will examine the possibility of scaling it up at other Orkla factories in our large corporate group,” said Christer Söderström, Factory Manager Orkla Åland.
